Happy Thanksgiving!

24 Nov 2004

At least in the United States, today is Thanksgiving. It’s a time where we celebrate when Europeans colonized what is now the United States and Indians gave the starving Europeans some food one late fall. Of course, the ancestors of those indians were repaid by getting their land taken from them, but we don’t think about that part of history.

And as I think about “the land” as it were, I am reminded of Woody Guthrie’s immortal song This Land Is Your Land, so lovingly parodied by the folks at JibJab.

Meanwhile, I look forward to eating more turkey. Of course, on Atkins, I’m eating Turkey just about every other day.
